Flickering screen in N4- Need Help

by darre.. » Sun, 18 Feb 2001 08:37:30

I have a GeForce2 Ultra 64mb card. I am getting screen flicker in
nascar4. It's mostly on the bottom of the screen and it does it while
driving, in player info screen, garage screen etc. Does anyone know
what this is and what I can do to fix it? Thanks in advance for any
help.

Turn of V-Sync in either D3D or OpenGL (depending on which one you use)

I'm using D3D but I can't find the vsync setting anywhere in the
settings. Do you know where it is? Thanks for your help.

when you are in the Direct3D tab, at the bottom there is a button called
More D3D options

Go in there and you can edit your Anti-Aliasing as well as your Verticle
Sync

If your using the new 7.52 version drivers, I don't think there is an option
for vsync in D3D!

I think you have to do some registry hack, or download some file off the net
before the v-sync setting appears.  It's not there as default with any of
the drivers i've tried.  Anyone know how to do this?

This is because drivers with a v-sync setting won't be given WHQL
certification by Microsoft anymore.

To all GeForce owners you must turn off Vertical sync in the OpenGL
settings and the flicker will be gone  Steve Paradise

I have the latest official Det3 drivers - 6.50 - and have that option. I do
have HZ Tools for setting refresh rates, but I don't think it has anything
to do with me having the vsynch tab in d3d - then again, I'm usually wrong
:)

And this will help the game running in D3D, will it ?

It must be, because I have 6.50 from nVidia currently installed and there's
no v-sync option for D3D under advanced d3d.
